The Republic of Abtracnt is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cheerful population of 17.887 billion Abtracntics are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ardentia. The average income tax rate is 91.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Abtracntic economy, worth a remarkable 1,228 trillion Dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism. Average income is 68,654 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

More than one company makes the board game Monopoly, oddly patriotic flash mobs spontaneously sing the national anthem, the newest shade developed by Abtracnt's dye industry has been dubbed 'Agent Orange', and politicians can be seen taking candy from babies. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Abtracnt's national animal is the Abtracntian Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Abtracnt is ranked 267,787^th in the world and 4,621^st in The East Pacific for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -8.29 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
